Synopsis

Read Write Inc. Phonics: Get Writing! by Ruth Miskin, Charlotte Raby

The Get Writing! Books contain activities linked to the core Storybooks in Read Write Inc., and to selected Non-fiction books for each level. The writing activities build on the reading activities that children have completed, helping them to develop ideas and vocabulary for writing. Specific activities included are: * Hold a sentence - remembering/writing a sentence linked to the Storybook/Non-fiction book * Edit - correcting errors in a sentence * Write - writing about a picture from the Storybook or Non-fiction book, e.g. filling in a speech bubble or thought bubble from one of the characters, completing a 'wanted' poster or writing a simple recipe. At higher levels: * 'Fred Rhythms' for spelling (sounds and graphemes) * Spelling check (partner work) * Take a spelling test * Build a sentence - supporting children as they write a sentence * Write - more sophisticated writing frames to inspire and support children as they write.
